Osama on dialysis

The United States does not need a boogieman living in a cave in Asia. Osama bin Laden is dead. Barak Obama should be honest enough with the American people to declare him dead.


I'm pleased to see Barak Obama hit the ground running after his election on the 4th. The US needs change.

I'd like to see him announce the death of Osama bin Laden as one of his first official duties. Bin Laden often better known as bin Forgotten died in December of 2001. There is nothing I am saying that is news to anyone who has actually spent any time thinking.

Osama bin Laden had serous kidney disease that required him to have dialysis treatment twice a week. There aren't any dialysis machines floating around in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. A few months back a reporter finally asked the question that should have been asked years ago at a White House press conference.

How is it that a guy who was seriously ill seven years ago is getting treatment for end-stage renal disease in some cave in Afghanistan? The woman conducting the press conference panicked at the thought of answering that most basic question and immediately canceled the rest of the briefing.

The United States does not need a boogieman living in a cave in Asia. Osama bin Laden is dead. Barak Obama should be honest enough with the American people to declare him dead.

Here are the facts.

1. The last intelligence intercept of Osama bin Laden was on December 14 of 2001. He has not been heard from since.
2. President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld hinted in late December of 2001 that they knew Osama bin Laden was dead.
3. President Musharraf of Pakistan announced in January of 2002 that Osama bin Laden was probably dead of kidney disease.
4. President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan was quoted in October of 2002 as saying, "The more we don't hear of him, and the more time passes, there is the likelihood that he probably is either dead or seriously wounded somewhere."
5. But the actions of the US Military are the most telling. There isn't a single soldier, sailor or Marine tasked with chasing down Osama bin Laden, dead or alive. Because we know exactly where he is. He's dead. So the US military is either totally or absolutely incompetent or Osama bin Laden died years ago and we've been fighting the boogieman.
6. As early as July of 2002, even the FBI's counterterrorism chief was quoted as saying; Osama bin Laden is "probably" dead.

The US does not need a boogieman; we have real challenges ahead of us. We need a President who will not lie to us on a constant basis.

While you are at it Mr President Elect, you may want to mention that Iran never threatened to wipe Israel off the map and 16 US Intelligence agencies all agree [pdf] Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. But you knew that, didn't you? Iran is neither the enemy of the United States nor Israel.

On Debasement

Coinage is imprinted gold or silver, by which the prices of things bought and sold are reckoned. It is therefore a measure of values. A measure, however, must always preserve a fixed and constant standard. Otherwise public order is necessarily disturbed with buyers and sellers being cheated in many ways, just as if the yard, bushel, or pound did not maintain an invariable magnitude.

Nicholas Copernicus, Treatise on Debasement

The Individualistic Capitalism of today, precisely because it entrusts saving to the individual investor and production to the individual employer, presumes a stable measuring rod of value, and cannot be efficient -- perhaps cannot survive -- without one.

Why Our First Month is Called "January"

The old Romans were wise enough to know that things change and fluctuate. They therefore recognized that the best way to know what would probably happen in the future was to study how changes took place in the past. To symbolize this, their two headed Janus was their chief deity with one head confidently looking to the future as the other head had studied the past.

Negative Entities

The Reality Of Negative Energy & Negative Entities

The "New Age" movement has once again made it fashionable to be involved in occult practices. There have been other periods in recent history when this has been the case, most notably *fin de siecle* Europe (IE the 1890's) and more recently the late Sixties "Age of Aquarius" which faded into the "Me" decade and its plethora of self-help, "Human Potential" organizations. This era did not truly die. The "Me" decade became the age of the Yuppie, and the "New Age" emerged from the human potential movement and handed everyone out a crystal.

The main problem with the neo-Aquarian movement is that the whole concept of evil is so blithely scoffed at. "There's no such thing as evil," says the New Ager, "there is only imbalance." This is a refrain you hear all the time, not just from the practitioners, but from so-called channeled entities. In this essay, I wish to show you that there is something very dangerous in channeling, something which has been ignored to the peril of not only the channelers, but those who consult them.

In the 1890s, when mediumship was quite a fad, somebody estimated that only 25% of the mediums were actually contacting spirits. Fully 75% were charlatans, who used elaborate and not-so-elaborate means to fake contacts with spirits at seances. The famous magician Harry Houdini drew large crowds to seminars he conducted to show people just how the flim-flam artists conducted their phony seances.

There is evidence that much of the people who are self-described channels are doing the same thing. "Ramtha", the famous "channeled being of light", was shown to be a fake on national television when 60 Minutes did an expose on the former housewife in Oregon who "channels" him at $300.00 a session.

This, however, leaves 25% of authentic channelers, if you use the old figures, which I suspect to be pretty true now as it was in the Turn of the Century. And just as Dion Fortune, one of the foremost occultists to come out of the Order of the Golden Dawn, had warned about the mediums of her day, I must sound anew a very important warning:

CHANNELING IS DANGEROUS, not only to the channel, but to those who consult them as well. Most channelled entities come from a facet of reality that is woven, warp and woof, into the reality our physical senses can penetrate. This realm is known to the Native American as well as the Ancient Norse as the Middle World. (Mitgard) These entities from here are people who once had bodies but have died and for some reason have become lost on their way to the "West".(the realm of the dead) They crave the sensations of embodiment, and so they roam, trying to find a living person they can possess for this purpose.

Channels "invite" these entities into themselves in their quest for knowledge. And these entities are more than willing to give them whatever "knowledge" they sense within the conscious and subconscious dreams and hopes of their living host, and create whatever personality they sense
their host would like, be it the personality of a starship captain from Planet Zed, or an cranky ancient Egyptian priest. These "earthbounds" are only as dangerous as their embodied personalities were. Unfortunately, those humans that wind up "earthbound" were usually mentally disturbed in life, and this mental disharmony can cause mental damage to even the most adjusted person who opens themselves up to them.

Even more dangerous is the fact that entities who never HAVE had bodies and can truly be called "evil spirits" also make themselves available to the potential channel. These entities have been known since time immemorial as "demons," "devils," "pretas,"(Sanskrit: Hungry Ones), "kwaidan," (Japanese: Unquiet Spirits) "asuras," (Indo-persian: Not-gods) "djinni" (Arabic: Demon) and "gan'n"(Teneh Athapascan: Evil Spirit(of the mountains). In all cultures that have practiced magic(k), these spirits were actively guarded against. It is a relatively recent occurence that some magicians and Wiccans have abandoned the warding practices that have been used for millenia for protection against them. The magick circle, unlike what Gerald Gardner has claimed, is to keep these negative entities OUT, not to keep the good magick in until it is cast, which although a nice thought, is totally erroneous.

Protection From Negative Energy & Negative Entities

The most basic protection is the magick circle. Those magicians or Wiccans who work without a circle are worse off than an aerialist who does his trapeze act without a net. If you fall down, you bite the dust REAL HARD. The circle is a line drawn in the dust of matter that says to beings of evil to stay clear under pain of intervention by the forces of Good.

If you cannot draw a circle in the earth or with chalk or with a line of corn meal or (better) cattail pollen (called Hod'nt'n by the Teneh), you should smudge the area where a ceremonial or a healing will take place, or use one of the good banishing rituals at www.spiritual.com.au, or if all else fails or if you cannot do anything else without drawing too much attention (like in a public place) visualize yourself encased in a shimmering globe of white or violet light, or wrapped in white or violet smoke or fog. Under no circumstances should you feel or show fear. Fear is a way these entities can get to you. Affirmations against fear are a good way to combat these feelings. I like the "litany against fear" from the Frank Herbert S-F classic "Dune." The book is a work of fiction, but the actual litany sounds like it was taken from an old Wiccan Book of Shadows.

"I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total annihilation. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it is gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

If you must invoke a spirit, even if it's identified as an angel, DO NOT invoke it without being well situated in a GREATER THEURGIC CIRCLE. This is well documented in books on high magick, and I will not detail it here. Invocations are truly risky business, not the province of dabblers. This kind of working is something I encourage you not to attempt, and do not do myself, even though I have been active in the occult for years. Unless you are especially adept and power-FULL, this is something extremely prone to backfiring on you. I also believe that the practice of automatic writing and ouija is far too risky to be fooled with, as well as direct consultation of spirits for divination.

Symbolic divination like Tarot and casting runes should be done after protecting yourself as I have detailed above. And most importantly, stay well away from the rituals that allow discarnates to possess a person who desires to become a channel. You will quite possibly put your mental health and even your soul in grave peril if you do this. It is my belief that Aleister Crowley, who was a giant in occult philosophy up to the point where he seemingly went crazy and dissipated himself in debauchery and drug abuse, was pushed over the edge by his contact with Aiwass, a discarnate entity whom he allowed to possess him. It may not have been the only thing that did it, but it was certainly one of the major elements in his fall.

Any path that teaches you to disengage your rational mind is extremely dangerous. Logic and rationality are very important, and are a gift from Usen'. Anything that shortcircuits the faculties of intellect and critical thought is very dangerous. "Turn off your mind/Relax and float downstream..."* is a tempting proposition, but also a dangerous one. This not only opens you up for possible possession, but also to domination from fellow human beings too.

The alpha state, which can be extremely perilous when used in mind control, is also the state that the shaman uses in their travels through Non-Ordinary Reality. The difference is that shamanic training teaches an individual how to enter the Shamanic State of Consciousness in an aware manner, and to maintain total control of yourself within it. One practice that is useful in cultivating this ability is lucid (aware) dreaming. Brett Hallett, a student of the Cherokee Medicine Path, gave me this method to retain awareness in the Dreamtime:

Look at your hands or your feet while you are in the dream. If you can, looking at your reflection in a shiny surface like water, or a mirror, or highly polished stone is even better. It takes exertion of Will to do this but it does work very well.

Another helpful thing to use when learning lucid dreaming techniques is affirmations. One good one is this. "I will remain aware and in control in the Dreamtime. When I wake up, I will remember all that I see. So shall it be." Go to sleep with this either on your mind or on your lips. Another practice that cultivates awareness in the Alpha state are the Harner shamanic exercises. The book "The Way Of The Shaman" details a few of Dr. Harner's methods.

In summation, there are some very important things to remember regarding any sort of occult practice and the reality of negative energy & entities.

1.) Do NOT open yourself to entities other than your Power Animal, which is your "lower" self, which doesn't necessarily mean inferior but just more instinctual and a source of the primal power that makes a shaman do things; and your Inner Shaman (Inner Teacher, Inner Wizard) which is also known as the Guardian Angel, which is the personification of your "higher" or spiritual self. One can have several Power Animals (the more you get, the higher the level of shamanic power) but only ONE Inner Shaman. The Inner Shaman must be gotten through the journey to the Upper World, and no other way. A Power Animal can be dreamt about, or seen in glimpses of the Non-Ordinary Reality one sometimes gets after some training, but unless you take the Upper World journey and meet your Inner Shaman there, there is a good chance this entity identifying itself as your Teacher is in truth an earthbound or worse.

2.)Any spiritual discipline which teaches you to reject rational thought and/or refers to logical, critical thought as "maya" or illusion is dangerous, especially when it is also taught that one must give allegiance to a "spiritual master" or a group.

3.) Do NOT try channeling even in a dabbling sort of way, or even consult a channel. The information a fake channeler will give you is entirely useless, and your'e throwing money
away on a fraud anyway. The information an authentic channeled entitiy may give you will be untrustworthy, and possibly even HARMFUL.

4.) Learn a way of warding yourself from attack or possession by earthbounds or gan'n. Do NOT show fear or even THINK fearful thoughts when confronted by malevolent entities.

5.) Practice lucid dreaming and travel in the Upper and Lower Worlds.

6.) Do NOT allow yourself under any circumstances to be hypnotized.

I hope this series has been thought-provoking and helpful, and perhaps even sanity-saving for you. Books with further information that I recommend are Psychic Self-Defense, by Dion Fortune, and The Way Of The Shaman, by Michael Harner.

The Practical Kabala

"The practical kabala treats of ceremonial magic, and includes the making of magic circles, wands, swords and pentacles, and the use of inscriptions and symbols for performing wonders. It deals with necromancy, sorcery, exorcisms, sigils, enchantments and communications with angels and devils.

Accessible books treating of this subject are: The Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses, The Greater Keys of Solomon the King, and The Lesser Keys of Solomon. Needless to say, as set forth in detail in Chapter 3 of Course 18, Imponderable Forces, these books and all such practices are highly dangerous, and innocence is no protection to those who dabble in such matters."

Daily Activities

Today is two weeks since I began looking into the financial markets pretty much non-stop. Things started to slow down yesterday because yesterday was the second full day of my current fast. I don't have any energy to work on my financial market 'analyses' today, I'm totally drained. Yesterday was bad too. It's hard for me to explain what I've learned because I can't focus at the moment -- suffice it to say that I've been lead into the field of "music theory" and "Fourier transforms" that are a form of "trigonometric interpolation" and the mathematical language of wave theory. Basically Fourier analysis is a mathematical prism that separates data that contains cyclicality into several different waves, each with a precise amplitude and frequency. The analogy of a prism is a correct one, Fourier analysis does to a time series of data what a prism does to white light -- that's why Fourier analysis is often called "spectral analysis."

I've learned more about how to properly use moving averages to predict price movements -- mainly the duration of the moving average is very important, and the 50% displacement of the moving average is also key. Before starting to eat again, I really don't see how I can get back on track with my work. But also I've learned that moving averages are, obviously, smoothers of price movement (which can be quite erratic), and have the effect of hiding the periodic movements in price that take place both at and below the duration of the average, and, in contrast they tend to reveal the periodic movements of price that takes place beyond the duration of the moving average. The true grasp of using the moving average to predict price, I haven't grasped yet, but seeing as its such a fundamental technical indicator in the financial markets, I think it warrants depth of study.

I have also bought, in the past two weeks, all the books from TradingFives.com, and the collected works of RN Elliot. I'm still waiting for the latter in the mail, I don't think it has shipped yet.

Yesterday I spent some time listening to Bob Prechter and Jim Rogers, both of whom I admire greatly, though I don't really understand everything they say. I wish I knew where and how Bob gets all his data, he has many interesting charts.

Last night I took a broader approach to the markets rather than just analyzing price movements. I want to understand the markets as a whole as well. So, I learned last night that the financial markets are a mechanism or series of mechanism that permit the transfer of funds from those who have an excess (i.e. savings or "capital" -- which is where the word capitalism comes from) to those who have a lack. The first of three divisions consists in the capital markets which is the stock and bond market where companies and governments sell the promise of future earnings in order to raise money for their endeavors. The second is derivatives market which was designed to allow businesspeople and investors to mitigate risk by binding one party of a contract to buy or sell a given asset at a specified price in the future. The third is the the foreign exchange market which provides the mechanism for international trade.

Also, I thought of an asset in a different way last night when I read in one of my textbooks that "Individuals own real assets in order to produce income and wealth." So an asset is something that produces wealth. I never thought about it like that before. If whatever you have is not producing wealth, then it's not an asset. Then the question becomes, what is wealth? Certainly things like the Sun, the soil, water, air, are definite assets that produce pretty much all the wealth we can attain.

Books I Need In Order To Understand the Economy

The Law - this little book by Frederic Bastiat (from the 1800s) is the most lucid and enjoyable read - and will forever change the way you look at governments and their interference in public and economic life. A gem! In fact, this book tells you everything you need to know about economics - in a way that you will thoroughly understand.

Economics in One Lesson - this book, by Henry Hazlitt, is very similar to "The Law" in that it presents economic ideas in a way that makes them eminently sensible and easy to understand. A must-have if you want to consider yourself economically literate.

Bionomics - a fascinating book by Michael Rothschild, which shows how capitalism and the free market are like "ecology" - a completely self-balancing system that is as "natural" as a rain forest. And when you consider that "orthodoxy" thinks of the economy as a "machine" - that politicians can forever tinker with - then Rosthschild's analysis is quite revolutionary.

According the person who posted this video on youtube, the low voice heard hits "Ab1" which is a semitone below the A1 -- the lowest note on the piano keyboard.

Jackson, President 7

I'm not sure what a hero Andrew Jackson was, but I greatly admire him for his comments towards a group of investment "banksters" in 1828 who were trying to get him to renew their charter,

"You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning."

Of course, following the coup of 1907, a completely fabricated bank failure that lead to the creation of the (Non-)Federal (No-)Reserve(s), we find Andrew Jackson's mug on the face of the US 20$ "bill" (yes, every dollar is loaned into existence, not by the government but by private interest, and therefore represents a debt, or a "bill" to be paid by the next generation) -- just a way the banksters have of saying "Gotcha!"

We also have a quote from FDR to EM House (the real mastermind behind the fraudulent financial system we've had for the past 100 years) saying, and I'm paraphrasing, that Andrew Jackson was the last ethical president of the US (FDR was almost certainly the least!).

In any case, today I found another quote from Jackson that I admire.

"Believe in nothing, without examination. But where reason and evidence will warrant the conclusion, believe everything and let prejudice be unknown. Search for truth on all occasions, and espouse it in opposition to the world."

Musical Terms

Chord Progressions - A series of chords (sometimes referred to as the 'chord changes') that constitutes a verse, chorus, or even a complete song. A chord progression can be as short as a 2 bar pattern that repeats throughout a song. More commonly, you will find a 4 bar, 8 bar, 16 bar, or a 12 bar pattern that repeats or is placed together with other progressions to make up a complete song. Most blues follows a standard 12 bar chord progression, but you can run into an 8 or 16 bar blues from time to time. Most songs outside of the blues format will tend be made up of either 8 or 16 bar patterns.

Chromatic Scale- "Chromatic" refers to all 12 different notes which are found in Western culture music. If you start on any key of a piano and play every note, including all white and black keys, you are playing a chromatic scale.

Diatonic Scale- A diatonic scale has exactly 7 different notes in it. The last note of a diatonic scale is a repetition of the first note and doesn't count as one of the seven notes. The major scale is the most common example of a diatonic scale. Other types of diatonic scales include: the harmonic minor scale, the natural minor scale, and the melodic minor scale.
